    How do I connect to Home Group or Sharing


    I have a desktop hardwired to the router, a Gateway laptop connected Wireless to the router and a Toshiba Laptop Gateway connected Wireless to the router.

    I have two printers hardwired to the desktop, one is also hardwired to the router.

    I can get both printers on my Gateway Laptop but neither on the Toshiba Laptop.

    I have followed all the "Home Group Instructions" but I can not find an option that says "Join Now".
    The three computers have different Security Codes and I cannot give them all the same Home Group Security code.

    Any Suggestions?

    Thanks
